Among other posts during his 13-year career at The Menninger Clinic, Dr. Blakely was president of the Medical Staff and head of the HOPE Program, a 24-bed inpatient program for psychotic and seriously ill in-patients. Prior to joining Menninger, he was a recipient of the prestigious Fellowship and Advanced Fellowship in Psychiatry at the Austen Riggs Center, Inc., in Stockbridge, Massachusetts (1981-1985). He is a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and past President of the Greater Kansas City and Topeka Psychoanalytic Center

At Heritage since 2001, Dr. Blakely is applying years of experience in general psychiatry, therapy with adults, and treating severely disturbed patients, using medication management and both psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.

Dr. Blakely has extensive experience in working with impaired but functioning professionals, such as doctors, lawyers, and clergy. Also, he is an expert at treating individuals with personality disorders and other difficult-to-treat conditions, including victims of trauma, often very troubled people who have tried several other alternatives to address their problems.

Known for treating his patients with dignity, Dr. Blakely always keeps sight of their personhood. “It’s important to collaborate with patient,” he says. “People may have illnesses, but they are still competent to make their own treatment decisions. "They’re still in the driver’s seat.”
